Tearing Down The Walls chords by Zach Robinson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
Chord diagramD MajorD
I heard a sound outside today, a thousand voices all the same
     Chord diagramG+G
that cried in vane but can't explain the reasons why they all complain.
       Chord diagramD MajorD
We live among the plastic people, population plain and simple,
Chord diagramG+G
turning with a curve, shutting out the windows of the
Chord diagramB minorBm                                Chord diagramF# minorF#m
world I find so incomplete, where every chess piece that I meet
      Chord diagramG+G                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
will set the record on repeat and matter not at all.
    Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G
So, save the fables I've been told, I'm headed for the open road,
    Chord diagramD MajorD                   Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD
and going where they're tearing down the walls.
Verse 2:
Chord diagramD MajorD
All along the wind was talking, passed aside a sobbing nothing,
Chord diagramG+G
with his heart taped on his sleeve. Says he has the things I need.
Chord diagramD MajorD
Bad disguise but good advice, he said think twice next time you swipe
Chord diagramG+G
a woman off her feet. She may just fall flat on her face
    Chord diagramB minorBm
all painted white, not quite alright.
        Chord diagramF# minorF#m
There's more than life than that one night
     Chord diagramG+G                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
when Cindarella left you at the ball.
    Chord diagramD MajorD               Chord diagramG+G
So, here's a lesson in confession,
Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramG+G
maybe I just need attention.
 Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramA augmentedA               Chord diagramD MajorD
Take me where they're tearing down the walls.


Verse 3:
Chord diagramD MajorD
Where the armies can't surrender, writing up their final stanza,
Chord diagramG+G
sixth chief commander with a hidden agenda.
       Chord diagramD MajorD
In the backward image of a prince who rained on high and ignorance
      Chord diagramG+G
while pushing doomsday buttons making puppets out of husbands
   Chord diagramB minorBm                               Chord diagramF# minorF#m
He said the glass may be half empty and these days i'm always thirsty.
 Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
Oxygen's a taste I can't recall.
      Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G
While dodging every sidewalk crack, I gave him my reflection back
   Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
to take him where they're tearing down the walls.
Verse 4:
Chord diagramD MajorD
Far away where moonlight curls, there danced a ruby peasant girl
    Chord diagramG+G
who had a passive style, with a Mona Lisa smile.
         Chord diagramD MajorD
And that Sunday skirt she liked to wear that made the preacher stop and stare
   Chord diagramG+G
it sure confused her brother and her father never loved her.
    Chord diagramB minorBm                                   Chord diagramF# minorF#m
She turned to me while i played dumb and kissed me with a poison tongue.
    Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
She melted as my innocence dissolved.
   Chord diagramD MajorD                Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramD MajorD                     Chord diagramG+G
I'm sorry, but I've got to go. The thrill of young loves getting old.
       Chord diagramD MajorD                   Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD
You'll find out when we're tearing down the walls.


Verse 5:
    Chord diagramD MajorD
The nylon mats beneath the floor that led me to the castle door
     Chord diagramG+G
made up of thorns and briers where the wasted time expires
     Chord diagramD MajorD
in a thrown room taken from a dream, they executed kings and queens
     Chord diagramG+G
for changing all their minds and filling up the caskets with their
Chord diagramB minorBm                            Chord diagramF# minorF#m
crimes against humanity. They begged for me to set them free.
  Chord diagramG+G                             Chord diagramA augmentedA
I handed them a guillotine that whistles when it falls.
  Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramG+G
I thanked them with my phony eyes.
  Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramG+G
I bluffed my hands and said goodbye
    Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD
and headed where they're tearing down the walls.

Verse 6:
Chord diagramD MajorD
When the hours meet the minutes, seconds til I finally finish,
Chord diagramG+G
traveling and tracing when I reached my destination.
           Chord diagramD MajorD
There were figures standing by the gate. I realized I'd arrived too late,
     Chord diagramG+G
they waited for me as I screamed. The prince, the peasant, king and queen.
    Chord diagramB minorBm                                  Chord diagramF# minorF#m
and then of course the sobbing nothing, manifesting into something.
Chord diagramG+G                               Chord diagramA augmentedA
Thus destroying everything that could have been resolved.
    Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramG+G
The seasons changed, the wind got colder.
Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G
But I said, to starting over.
Chord diagramD MajorD               Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD
Than I said, to tearing down the walls.

Coda:
   Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G
So if you want to see some progress,
Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramG+G
kindly disreguard your logic.
Chord diagramD MajorD                     Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD
Take me where they're tearing down the walls.
Chord diagramG+G                     Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD
Take me where they're tearing down the walls.
